A school is an institution designed to provide learning spaces and environments for teaching students under the direction of teachers. It consists of classrooms, teachers, students, support staff, playgrounds, and activities. Classrooms are learning spaces where classes are held in educational institutions from preschool to university. Emerging technologies that may shape future classrooms include 3D printing to create models, flexible displays to take notes, eye tracking for feedback, multi-touch screens for interaction, and game-based learning to engage students.

2. WHAT IS A SCHOOL?

PROVIDE LEARNING SPACES AND LEARNING
ENVIRONMENTS FOR THE TEACHING

• CLASSROOMS
• TEACHER
• STUDENTS
• MAIDS
• CLERK
• PLAYGROUND
• ACTIVITIES

5. CLASSROOMS
• A CLASSROOM IS A LEARNING SPACE, A ROOM IN WHICH CLASSES ARE
HELD. CLASSROOMS ARE FOUND IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF ALL
KINDS, FROM PRESCHOOLS TO UNIVERSITIES, AND MAY ALSO BE FOUND IN
OTHER PLACES WHERE EDUCATION OR TRAINING IS PROVIDED, SUCH AS
CORPORATIONS AND RELIGIOUS AND HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATIONS.

9. 5 TECHNOLOGIES THAT WILL SHAPE FUTURE
CLASSROOMS
1)3D PRINTING
THE 3D PRINTER SHOULD REALLY BE A MUST-HAVE IN
CLASSROOMS. INSTEAD OF BEING RESTRICTED TO WHAT THEY
CAN PLAY WITH, PUPILS IN THE CLASSROOM OF THE FUTURE
CAN PRINT OUT 3D MODELS FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES,
INCLUDING SHOW-AND-TELL.

10. 2)FLEXIBLE DISPLAYS
• NOTE-TAKING ON MEMO PADS IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE DURING LECTURES ALTHOUGH
THERE MAY BE A SHIFT FROM PAPER TO LAPTOPS, NETBOOKS OR TABLETS. AS
EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS BECOME MORE DIGITALIZED, HOW WILL THE FUTURE CLASSROOM
RECONCILE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PEN AND PAPER VERSUS KEYBOARD AND
SCREEN?
• THE ANSWER MIGHT JUST BE FLEXIBLE OLED-BASED DISPLAYS. JUST LIKE REGULAR
PAPER, THESE DISPLAYS WILL BE LIGHTWEIGHT, FLEXIBLE AND EXTREMELY THIN. THIS
MEANS WE CAN ROLL THEM UP INTO TUBES OR FOLD THEM LIKE NEWSPAPERS.

11. 3) BIOMETRICS: EYE TRACKING
• EYE-TRACKING CAN BE HELPFUL FOR INSTANCE, IN PROVIDING INVALUABLE
FEEDBACK FOR TEACHERS TO UNDERSTAND HOW STUDENTS ABSORB AND
UNDERSTAND THE LEARNING CONTENT. AS A MATTER OF FACT, ADVERTISING
RESEARCH HAVE BEEN USING EYE-TRACKING TECHNOLOGY TO SEE HOW
CONSUMERS RESPOND TO THEIR ADS AND TO DETERMINE WHAT CAPTURES
THEIR ATTENTION.

12. 4) MULTI-TOUCH LCD SCREENS
• WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A SCREEN THAT WILL BE ATTACHED TO A
COMPUTER CAPABLE OF GENERATING INFINITE COMBINATIONS OF
IMAGES, SOUNDS AND VIDEOS, JUST LIKE OUR SMARTPHONES. THE
MAJOR DIFFERENCE WITH THIS NEW “BOARD” AND OUR SMART
DEVICES IS THAT IT WILL BE CAPABLE OF DETECTING MULTIPLE TOUCH
INPUTS FROM MANY STUDENTS SIMULTANEOUSLY.

13. 5)GAME-BASED LEARNING
• GROWING UP AT A TIME WHEN THE WORLD IS CONNECTED BY THE
INTERNET, KIDS TODAY SEEMS TO HAVE VERY SHORT ATTENTION SPANS.
THIS IS UNSURPRISING, SINCE THEIR CHILDHOOD REVOLVES AROUND
YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK AND SMARTPHONES THAT PROVIDE THEM WITH
ON-THE-GO 24-HOURS UPDATES AND THE ANSWERS TO ALL THEIR
QUERIES THROUGH GOOGLE AND WIKIPEDIA.
• TO CATER TO SUCH A FAST-PACED GENERATION, SCHOOLS WILL
EVENTUALLY ABANDON TRADITIONAL TEACHING METHODS OF ROTE
LEARNING TO ALIGN THEMSELVES WITH THE TIMES. ONE GREAT WAY TO
ACHIEVE THAT IS TO USE WHAT HAD ALWAYS BEEN CONSIDERED AS A
MAJOR DISTRACTION TO LEARNING – VIDEO GAMES.
